CAUTION
►
Handle the device with appropriate care.
►
Do not use metal brushes, metal objects or abra-
sive cleaners.
Phase I: Cleaning
►
Prepare the cleaning solution according to the manufacturer's instruc-
tions.
►
Fully immerse all parts of the fully disassembled device that were used
in the cleaning solution bath for two (2) to five (5) minutes. All acces-
sible surfaces must remain immersed in the cleaning solution bath
throughout the entire cleaning time.
►
After soaking in the cleaning solution, clean all external surfaces-
while the items are fully emerged in the cleaning solution – using a
clean, lint-free, soft, non-sterile cloth or a soft bristled brush until all
visible soiling is removed:
– Brush for at least one (1) minute or until no more residues can be
removed.
– During cleaning, move non fixed components 3 times in each direc-
tion and as far as possible.
►
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces of products with hidden crevices, lumens
with working channels, or complex geometry five (5) times. Use a dis-
posable 50 ml syringe.
Phase II: Rinse
►
Fully immerse all parts in a tap water bath (<45 °C/113 °F) and thor-
oughly rinse all accessible surfaces twice for a minimum of one (1)
minute each.
►
Move non fixed components 3 times in each direction and as far as
possible.

infectant solution bath throughout the entire disinfecting time.
►
Remove all adherent air bubbles from the component surfaces
►
Thoroughly rinse all surfaces of products with hidden crevices, lumens
